Job Description
A SOC analyst’s main objective is to identify, investigate, and escalate alerts and events to safeguard sensitive information from unauthorized access or harm caused by cybercriminals or malicious insiders. SOC Analysts monitor an organization’s infrastructure to identify potential threats, review events that occur within the security stack, pinpoint vulnerabilities, escalating incidents, and advise or deploying mitigation tactics.
Responsibilities include providing security monitoring and incident response of cyber security events, monitoring and analyzing logs and alerts to identify actionable security incidents, providing proactive “threat hunting” to detect incidents, and providing Incident Response support when analysis confirms actionable incident. The analyst will also respond to SOC cybersecurity tickets, investigate, document, and report on SOC tickets, escalate issues as needed, and stay up to date on the latest emerging threats and tactics.
